I. Reading

Answer the questions (1-6) with T (true), F (false) or N (not enough information).

For over fifty years, Charlotte's Web has delighted readers around the world. It is the story of a great friendship between Charlotte, a very intelligent spider, and Wilbur the pig. Charlotte does everything she can to stop Zuckerman, the farmer, from killing the pig - not an easy thing on a farm. This extract introduces Charlotte's first 'miracle', as she tries to convince the farmer that Wilbur is a genius.

The next day was foggy. Everything on the farm was dripping wet. The grass looked like a magic carpet. The asparagus patch looked like a silver forest. On foggy mornings, Charlotte's web was truly a thing of beauty. This morning each thin strand was decorated with dozens of tiny beads of water. The web glistened in the light and made a pattern of loveliness and mystery, like a delicate veil. Even Lurvey, who wasn't particularly interested in beauty, noticed the web when he came with the pig's breakfast. He noted how clearly it showed up and he noted how big and carefully built it was. And then he took another look and he saw something that made him set his pail down. There in the centre of the web, neatly woven in block letters, was a message. It said: SOME PIG!

Lurvey felt weak. He brushed his hand across his eyes and stared harder at Charlotte's web. 'I'm seeing things,' he whispered. He dropped to his knees and uttered a short prayer. Then, forgetting all about Wilbur's breakfast, he walked back to the house and called Mr Zuckerman. 'I think you'd better come down to the pigpen,' he said. 'What's the trouble?' asked Mr Zuckerman. 'Anything wrong with the pig?"No - not exactly,' said Lurvey. 'Come and see for yourself.'

The two men walked silently down to Wilbur's yard. Lurvey pointed to the spider's web. 'Do you see what I see?' he asked. Zuckerman stared at the writing on the web. Then he murmured the words 'Some Pig'. Then he looked at Lurvey. Then they both began to tremble. Charlotte, sleepy after her night's exertions, smiled as she watched. Wilbur came and stood directly under the web.

1. It was probably not summertime.

2. Lurvey came to feed the spider.

3. Lurvey didn't see the spider's web.

4. The men discovered that the pig was sick.

5. Zuckerman was happy to see the words on the web.

6. Charlotte had probably worked all night on the web.
